Today's invention focuses on the flexible wraparound
display that could be fashioned in aluminum, aluminum and glass
or a fully transparent design. This future iPhone design won't
have any physical buttons so controlling the audio on the iPhone
will simply require you to hover your hand over the side of the
display to temporarily illustrate the controls. The new design
could also produce 3D visuals through its unique dual display
design. This is certainly one of Apple's hottest inventions of
the year.

Neat, right?

OK, but keep something in mind.

Apple files all kinds of patents for gadgets and technologies
that never actually see the light of day. Apple does this to keep its options
open. The rule is:
think of an idea? Patent it. Before Samsung
does.

So, the image above could be a
preview of the iPhone 6
or iPhone 7 – or it could be a total red herring.
